The No. 10-ranked University of Oklahoma baseball team visits the City of Angels this weekend to take on USC, UCLA and Notre Dame in Los Angeles. The Sooners (11-2) will visit USC (6-6) on Friday in an 8 p.m. CT clash at Dedeaux Field to open the weekend. OU will then take on a pair of top-25 foes at UCLA's Jackie Robinson Stadium, battling the No. 12-ranked Bruins (9-2) Saturday at 4 p.m. CT before squaring off with No. 22 Notre Dame (8-2) Sunday at 12 p.m. CT.

Oklahoma entered Week 4 of the 2013 season ranked No. 10 by Collegiate Baseball, No. 12 by USA Today, No. 14 by the NCBWA, No. 17 by Baseball America and No. 18 by Perfect Game. The Sooners dropped a 6-1 decision at UT Arlington on Tuesday.

THE SERIES vs. USC  Oklahoma owns a 6-2 series edge over the Trojans. The Sooners have never faced USC at Dedeaux Field. OU won the last battle between the two programs, 9-6, in 2004. Oklahoma topped USC, 4-1, in the third round of the 1951 NCAA College World Series en route to capturing its first national title.

THE SERIES vs. UCLA The Sooners lead the all-time series against the Bruins, 7-6. The two squads last met in 2010 in Corpus Christi, Texas, with UCLA posting a 5-2 victory over OU. Oklahoma is 4-2 against UCLA under head coach Sunny Golloway, including a three-game series sweep in Norman in 2009.

THE SERIES vs. NOTRE DAME OU and ND meet for just the third time ever this weekend. Oklahoma won both the previous meetings, tallying a 15-3 triumph in 1982 and a 4-3 win in 2006.
